[tulipsunday]

Hi all new thread as the other one is about to max out.

For all those going through pregnancy after miscarriage/s. Come share your worries and celebrate your milestones with people who can relate to what you are going through 🥰

Congratulations @suz2285 !! Superwoman going for that long. Enjoy all the snuggles with your little bundle of joy 💞

@suz2285 hige congratulations to you ❤️

Happy new year everyone!

Congratulations again @suz2285 (even though I've already spoken to you privately, feels weird not saying it on here haha!)

Just had my last growth scan I'm 36 weeks everything is off the charts! He's estimated at 9lbs 13 now, he was only 7lbs 7oz 12 days ago! She's certain the weight is wrong but he is very big! I've now got polyhydroamniosis now too, she said that usually they'd send patients to triage with poly but because I'm seeing my team on Wednesday she thought it best to wait till then, as they know all about me and my care etc!

@Brokenpancreas94 be interesting to see what he ends up weighing! If he is that big
will be some relief about having a c section I imagine 😄

Today I opened the new calendar and thought this is the month I will definitely meet my baby eeek!

@suz2285 hope you and baby are doing ok x

@tulipsunday I know haha, she was definitely certain that the weight is wrong though! She couldn't even get his full length of legs to fit on the screen 🤣 but it explains why I'm so uncomfortable now! I'm gutted about the excess fluid, as thought I'd avoided it this time round!

It's scary to think that this time in 2 weeks my baby will be here, but also exciting! I just want to sleep, although I know that won't be happening when baby is here either haha but I just can't turn over or anything in bed without pain! Xx

@Brokenpancreas94 oh yeh the turning over in bed is not comfortable. I toss and turn so much. One thing I won't miss from pregnancy!

@tulipsunday I'm feeling absolutely wiped out now, keep getting hot as well, and i just generally ache everywhere. Getting a few mild cramps as well, although I've had that for a few days now on and off. Midwife tomorrow and I cannot be asked, I mean I'm going to go but I feel like crap!!

Congratulations @suz2285 I hope you are all doing well x

@suz2285 ahh congratulations lovely hope you’re both doing well!!❤️

@tulipsunday ahh baby month is here!! And for @Brokenpancreas94 too🕺🏻

Baby girl is over 5 months now, she’s sitting up on her own😭😭 she’s quite small though, she weighs 12.5lb so I’m thankful I’ve got lots of 0-3 clothing🤣🤣

@Brokenpancreas94 omg 9lb 13 is crazy!!

@Brokenpancreas94 hope appointment goes well.

@ChloeN wow 5 months. It is nice when they start sitting up and can engage more with toys.

@tulipsunday @ChloeN I'm being sent to hospital now, my bp is 132/100 and I've got 2+protein in urine, but I've not ate or drunk anything today really, just feel like crap!!

@Brokenpancreas94 Eesh. I hope they look after you! X

Good luck @Brokenpancreas94

@Brokenpancreas94 hopefully everything is okay and they get you sorted! X

@TheBirdintheCave @WhiteHorse92 I'm being admitted, so that they can monitor my BP and start me on some BP medication, my bloods aren't saying I have pre eclampsia yet but that im at risk. My consultant is the one doing the morning rounds apparently so will probably be her who decides what happens with my section!

@Brokenpancreas94 how annoying but glad you are being monitored. 🤞 all ok

Just had my BP done and it's come down to 115/74 but my pulse is slightly raised instead 🙃 can't win haha @tulipsunday @WhiteHorse92 @TheBirdintheCave

@Brokenpancreas94 Oh dear! So they're going to keep you in still?

@TheBirdintheCave yep I'm still in, BP ended up lowering whilst on the first dosage they put me on and my consultant didn't want me to end up with low BP so skipped a dose today but then my bp ended up creeping back up. So I'm in for one more night to see if the dose that they've got me on now is the correct dosage. Then tomorrow they'll send me home with a BP machine and il be texting them my readings! C section isn't being moved either unless I go into full pre eclampsia but that's looking unlikely. I just want to be home I'm so so tired, can't seem to sleep or anything

@Brokenpancreas94 yes I bet you can't wait to be home. Really hope everything stabilises for you. Sympathise with the no sleep - hence the half three message 😂 just gone to another room to read as fed up of tossing and turning and being uncomfortable and I know I am disturbing my husband 🙈

Hi just came across this post. I had a MMC back in August which I have medical and then surgical management for. Im not just under 6 weeks pregnant. I feel quite nervous about aches near my belly button (not severe but on-off) and already seem to have lower back pain (just above left butt cheek) so I’m nervous that these are signs of things going wrong again. EPU back in August said I could get early scan if I was pregnant again, but when I called this week they said they aren’t doing that now due to staff shortages. Just feeling quite worried this won’t work out again.

@tulipsunday I got home yesterday about 3pm, they took me off the medication because my blood pressure dropped too low! 98/58! Honestly don't think I needed to be in there!! My BP since being home has been completely fine too! I'm officially 37 weeks today! Can't believe I've made it this far!! 5 days left for me to go!!

@Khanga27 good luck! I had the aches near my belly button this time round, and also the back/hip pain I'm sure some of the other ladies here did too! Xx

@Brokenpancreas94 thank you, and thanks for sharing similar symptoms, helps me feel less alone.
I actually had a call back from EPU later in the afternoon, initially reiterating what they previously said, but then proceeded to ask me numerous questions, and when I mentioned I had the lower left back pain (which I think I had last time as well) they offered me a scan for Wednesday to make sure pregnancy was in right place (I’m hoping they were just looking for a reason to be allowed to offer me a scan, it was one of the lovely sonographers that did my scan before surgical management that also arranged my counselling with charity they work with). I will be 6+3 on Wednesday and I’m really worried that there won’t be much to see and it will heighten my anxiety. Just going to try and keep calm until then.
